Mallards In A Row - a photo on Flickriver

Mallards In A Row

            May 2025 The annual holiday trip to East Yorkshire and the Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough Head area.

Day 4,  In the evening I went to RSPB Bempton in the hope of photographing the Barn Owl that is often seen. And anything thing else that might turn up.

Three male Common Mallards had been chasing a female Common Mallard around the sky for a few minutes before they all decided to land. It was pure luck that I caught them all with wings up as they dropped in to the long grass 100 meters back from the cliff edge.

The Mallard is a large and heavy-looking duck. It has a long body, and a long and broad bill. The male has a dark green head, a yellow bill, is mainly purple-brown on the breast and grey on the body. The female is mainly brown with an orange bill. Mallards breed in all parts of the UK in summer and winter, wherever there are suitable wetland habitats.
